Happy Tullow House Day!

Submitted by mericiadmin on April 6, 2020 - 12:37pm

Today we celebrate Tullow House Day! We have been chatting with the students of Tullow House during online Pastoral Care. Many of the girls dressed in our House colour, green. We participated in a quiz testing their knowledge of the history of Tullow House and the staff members within the House. The girls had great fun in their scavenger hunt, retrieving green objects from around their home and garden. Some of the girls found balloons, green feathered boa, cuddly toys, vegetables, herbs, the list goes on. Many of the girls made ‘green’ cakes and desserts to share with their families!

Submitted by mericiadmin on March 11, 2020 - 2:35pm

Have you ever wanted to plan a caravan trip around Australia, write a play, build a robot or direct a short film? Students in the Middle Years Programme (MYP) at Merici will have such an opportunity at the end of Year 9 and throughout Year 10 when they pursue a passion of their choice also known as the personal project. This will happen over an extended period of time so students should be ambitious with their ideas! All students will be assigned a supervisor, whose role is to act as a mentor; providing support and guidance throughout the experience.

A Day with Dr Justin Coulson

Submitted by mericiadmin on March 3, 2020 - 9:43am

Merici College would like to thank Dr Justin Coulson's Happy Families for his visit to the College yesterday. Justin spoke to our Year 12 students about overcoming the 3 Ds - doubt, distraction and drudgery, telling them that doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. He suggested that the way to overcome self-doubt is to decide. He also spent time with our Year 8 students, talking to them about respectful relationships.
